This project is an attempt to use PixiJS library to create a silhouette against a matrix(film)-like-scrolling-vertical-text-background. This is completely for fun-sies and to see if I can do something I think is pretty cool. Later iterations of this might have the ability to edit the words that fall. The current progress can be viewed here: DEMO
PixiJS resources need to be hosted on a server, since running an html file verbatim results in COORs errors when loading resources like sprites to the webGL/canvas area. Follow the below steps to quickly get up and running:
- Open the commandline / terminal / etc and enter the following:
npm install
This installs the project's dependenciesnpm run hostserver
This runs a simple server which hosts this project- Visit
